Jennifer Crittenden (born August 29, 1969) is an American screenwriter and producer. She started her writing career on the animated television series The Simpsons, and has since written for several other television sitcoms including Everybody Loves Raymond and Seinfeld. Her work has earned her several Emmy Award nominations.

Crittenden was born on August 29, 1969. She was educated at The Thacher School in Ojai, California. She graduated from Wesleyan University in 1992. Crittenden was married to fellow writer Jace Richdale for three years; they separated in 1998.

Crittenden has written five episodes for The Simpsons, the first being "And Maggie Makes Three" (1995) and the latest being "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson" (1997). Crittenden was taking a beginners' writing program at 20th Century Fox when former The Simpsons show runner David Mirkin hired her on the show. Crittenden's only writing experience before that had been as an intern on the Late Show with David Letterman. 20th Century Fox had introduced Crittenden to Mirkin, and Mirkin read a script of hers that he liked so he hired her.

In addition, she wrote and executive produced Everybody Loves Raymond, and served as a writer and producer on later seasons of Seinfeld, from 1996. Crittenden also worked on The Drew Carey Show, as a consulting producer on Arrested Development, and as a writer and co-executive producer on the CBS series The New Adventures of Old Christine. For her work, Crittenden has won two Humanitas Prizes and has earned five Emmy Award-nominations: four for "Outstanding Comedy Series" (Seinfeld in 1998 and Everybody Loves Raymond in 2000, 2001, and 2002) and one for "Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series" (Everybody Loves Raymond in 2002).
